Cosmetics Brands I Want to try in 2018 | Recommendations Welcome!

In the world of beauty, there is always a new brand or a new product coming out every week it seems. It’s so hard to keep up!! I am usually not very faithful to brands because I like to test and try everything on the market, yet I still somehow gravitate around the same brands.

Last year (wow I can’t believe I am actually saying that about 2017!), I tried a few cosmetics brands that were new to me: Maison Jacynthe, The Ordinary (review coming soon!), Arbonne, etc.

Even though I’m on a budget and am trying to buy less in general, I am hoping to try more cosmetics brands in 2018! Here is what’s on my list this year:

Becca Cosmetics. Believe it or not, I have never tried anything from Becca, despite having heard very positive things about the brand. I might purchase mini sizes of their highlight or primer, or maybe a kit like this one.

Fenty Beauty. In 2017, the world of beauty was all about Fenty Beauty – and for a ton of reasons. Rihanna’s brand nailed it, from the cool and modern packaging to the range of foundation shades available. Plus, it’s all very affordable! I am tempted to buy this (I’ve seen so many bloggers wear it and it is stunning!) or maybe this (it was on my holiday wishlist!).

LH Cosmetics. Linda Hallberg has been my #1 makeup inspiration since day 1 and she still is my favourite makeup artist. I am SO happy for her, the progress she’s made, and of course, her fantastic makeup brand that I am DYING to try, especially this!! I need to order asap, or perhaps this is an excuse to go back to Sweden? 😉

Sugarpill Cosmetics. I have seen a few makeup artists use this brand on Instagram and I am in love with their branding and the colour range!! Last summer, I really wanted to create neon looks but I didn’t have any eyeshadows to use! :O I would love to get this and fill it with neon eyeshadows.

IT Cosmetics. I have heard wonders about their concealer! Anything else from the brand I should try?

Pat McGrath Labs. Pat McGrath’s talent has always fascinated me and she just blows my mind whenever she releases a new makeup item for her brand. It is fairly pricey so I might wait a bit, but maybe I’ll treat myself for my birthday… I kind of want everything, but this palette is particularly pretty I find. Watch Tati’s review of the palettes to understand why I’m obsessed 😉

Makeup Revolution. I have to say, this is a brand I discovered in 2017 by reading blog posts here on WordPress!! So thank you guys 🙂 I still cannot believe how affordable this brand is, and there are so many options, I don’t even know where to start!! What should I get from this brand?

Stargazer glitter. This brand was recommended by the amazing Marion Cameleon on her Snapchat and I am very curious to try it out! I want to be able to do crazy, colourful looks, so I might try their chunky glitters.

Please please please, if there are any indie brands you like or any specific item from the brands listed above that I HAVE to try, let me know! ❤

I’ve tried a lot from IT Cosmetics. My favorites are the Superhero Mascara, the concealer and the bye bye pores powder. The CC cream is very good, too! I want to try Fenty beauty this year as well. I have swatched the foundation at Sephora and it blended so naturally on my skin. Have fun playing with new brands this year!
